InterReligious Studies Minor
The InterReligious Studies minor is designed to immerse students in multiple faith and worldview perspectives, improve students' religious literacy, and improve students' appreciative knowledge of a wide range of faith traditions.
Students may choose an InterReligious Studies minor which encourages them to think more clearly, critically, and comprehensively about questions that matter and supplements a student’s other major/minor. The InterReligious Studies minor can support a student’s vocation, and a deep understanding of and appreciation for religious differences provides strong support for interacting amicably with coworkers and community members.
